CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE G. A. R. AND ITS 
CO-WORKERS. 



^ O' 



|VER a quarter of a century ago the people 
of the North were startled as never before 
by the report that Fort Sumter had been 
fired upon, and that the war between the North 
and the South had indeed commenced in earnest. 
A call for volunteers to defend the " Stars and 
Stripes " was made. That call was answered. 
Brave men left the farm, the workshop, the office, 
the store, home, and loved ones — everything, and 
rushed forward to protect the nation's honor. Battles were lost — 
battles were won. Long and weary were the marches, and fierce 
and bloody were the battles that marked the years from 1861 
to 1865. The comrade Avho, at morning, answered " here," at 

13 




CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE OKGANIZATIOX OF 




eventide could nevermore respond. Never before in the annals 
of history was any similar struggle waged on so grand a scale or 
with so great a destruction of men and material 
/^^^^XX '^^ ill this '' the great American conflict." 

^^^^M^; y ^^ ^''^^^ ^^^® ^^^^^ ^^y <^^ii^e- The South, no 
""■^" longer able to withstand the prowess and over- 

whelming forces of the North, was compelled to 
surrender, and then " The Brave Boys in Blue " 
marched home again ; but not until nearly half 
a million of their number were killed outright 
on the field, died of disease and wounds, or were 
crippled or maimed for life. 

Many returned home to find themselves penniless and helpless, 
but strong in their determination to grapple with the world. The 
promises made to the men who left their families to go forth to 
fight for the integrity of the' nation were but poorly kept, and 
though some were provided with employment by the Government, 
and many patriotic citizens, who remembered and appreciated 
their services, came nobly forward and gave them the preference 
in their enterprises, still a great number remained unemployed and 
unprovided for. This state of affairs caused deep anxiety in the 
hearts of their more fortunate comrades, who had stood shoulder 
to shoulder with these men during the death storm of battle, but 
who had come out of the war with happier fortune, and who were 
now better able to cope with the world. 

It was this condition of aff"airs that caused the pioneers in the 
Grand Army of the Republic to conceive the idea of forming an 
organization that would, to a certain extent, look after the disabled 
and unemployed veterans, and to the welfare of the widows and 
orphans of those who had fallen in the conflict. Such were the 
circumstances which led to the organization of the G. A. R., made 
brothers under the cloud of war, brothers in a thousand common 
dangers, brothers in a thousand common sufl'erings, brothers they 
must remain in the sunshine of peace. 



THE G. A. R. AND ITS CO-WORKERS. 



15 




The history of" The Great American Conflief' would be incom- 
plete without a record of the heroism and self-denying deeds of 
the mothers, wives, and daughters of those who 
sprang to arms to support the integrity of the 
ReiHiblic and the honor of the "Stars and 
Stripes." 

Thousands of Xorthern women of all classes 
and every rank of society, willingly sacrificing 
much of what is dear to woman, urged their 
friends and loved ones to rally around the flag ; 
and they eagerly sought the privilege, as they 
deemed it, of doing Avhat they could for the 
cause. At home they managed the business, 
the factory, or the farm, at the same time caring for the little ones ; 
and when tidings of defeat or disaster reached them, their hearts 
trembled with anxiety for the welfare of their loved ones and the 
success of the cause. 

Every moment of the day and night of that trying time, hearts 
were lifted up in silent prayer to the " God of Battles " that the 
right might prevail and the absent ones be returned safe in peace 
and honor. In the stillness of the night, as the little ones were put 
to rest, their young voices were taught to lisp a prayer, that " God 
might spare papa and preserve the Union." Nor Avas this all. 
What a woman does, she does with her whole heart. Almost every 
home in the North was turned into a manufactory of lint ; the 
closets and chests were ransacked and valued articles of linen were 
cheerfully brought forth and sacrificed to be shredded into lint 
for " the poor wounded soldiers." 

Societies were organized throughout the country, and the women 
vied with each other in offering delicacies and dainties, to be sent 
to the hospitals for the weak and suffering who had been wounded 
on Southern battlefields. How devotedly they worked in the 
interest of the " Christian Commission " and the " Sanitary Com- 
mission." Their busv fingers even found time, in numerous cases, to 



16 



CAUSES WHICH LED TO THE ORGANIZATION OF 



pen words of cheer and encouragement to the brave men, straiigers 
to them, except that they were bound together by the strong bonds 
of loyalty and patriotism. 

Nor can we forget those dauntless ones, who, not tied by the 
cares of a family, so gladly volunteered for active service as nurses 
on the battlefield and in the hospital ; who left the ease and refine- 
ment of home to suffer toil and privations to administer to the 
wants of the wounded. As ministering angels, they passed from 
cot to cot, stopping here to breathe a word of encouragement to a 
young sufferer racked Avith pain and far away from friends and 
home, and pausing there to raise the pillow of another that he 
might rest a little more comfortably. At times she was to be found 
writing a last message to loved ones from one about passing away, 
and whispering words of hope and consolation — in short, in a 
thousand different ways doing what only a woman, with her tact, 
gentleness, and sympathy, can do. 

After the struggle was over and the sword 
was turned into the pruning-hook — when the 
gallant defenders returned to the vocations of 
peace; alas, many of them, incapacitated by 
wounds or disease, were unable to resume their 
former calling, and helplessly saw their families 
without proper provision for their maintenance, 
the women, faithful to their interests and true 
in their devotion, sprang to the rescue and 
organized the various auxiliaries known as the 
" Woman's Relief Corps," " Loyal Ladies' 
League," or the " Ladies of the G. A. R.," etc., etc. 

The lessons of patriotism learned at the knee of their mothers 
were not lost on the children of the soldiers. On the return of 
their fathers and brothers from the conflict, the stories of battles 
and victory were told and retold by the fireside, and such was 
their charm that they were ever new. Their words burned into 
the hearts of the young listeners, and they made such an impres- 




THE G. A. R. AXD ITS CO-WORKERS. i< 

sion that with advancing years the children came to feel that 
they, too, could claim a common interest and heritage in the deeds 
of their fathers. This feeling seemed to unite them and form a 
common tie, leading eventually to the organization of the " Sons 
of Veterans," " Ladies' Aid Societies," and the " Daughters of 
Veterans," respectively.

CHAPTER II. 



THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 




THE cradle of the " Grand Array 
of the Republic " was a sol- 
dier's tent. On the march 
to Meridian was born tlie idea that 
was to crystallize and develop, and 
finally produce that brotherhood of 
soldiers known as the G. A. R. 

During Sherman's expedition to 
Meridian, in February, 1864, Maj. 
B. F. Stephenson and Chaplain W. 
J. Rutledge became tentmates and 
close friends. As they spoke in 
glad anticipation of the time when 
they might exchange the hardships 
and trials of the field for the shel- 
ter and comfort of their homes. 
Chaplain Rutledge suggested that 
when the troops were finally mus- 
tered out of the service, it would 
be but natural to suppose that men 
who had shared so much suffer- 
ing, privation, and danger would 



wish to form some sort of associa- 
tion, that they might meet again to 
preserve the friendships and memo- 
ries of the past. This topic l^ecame 
the subject of frequent conversation

"the grand army of the republic." 19 

and they agreed to assist one another in the development of such 
a project, if they were spared. 

This mutual agreement was not forgotten, especially by Dr. 
Stephenson, Avhen he returned home after the close of his 
army service. The more he thought of an organization of per- 
petual comradeship, the more he was enthused with the idea. 
He could not forget the many deeds of valor daily performed 
by his comrades, or the many bloody battlefields won by their 
prowess. When his thoughts returned to the scenes of that 
trying time, he could again hear the roar of his comrades' 
deadly artillery, the terrible crash and racket of their muskets, 
and the ringing and clanging of their sabres, when they crossed 
with those of the enemy. He could again see the many battle- 
fields covered with the dead and wounded, and the ground made 
red with their hearts' blood. He could again hear the vain cry 
for " water " to sustain the fast ebbing life stream, and the sacred 
messages whispered in his ear by sufferers racked with pain and 
far away from home and loved ones, as he bent over them in per- 
formance of the duties required by his profession. His duty, as a 
physician, often called him to the bedside of comrades, who had 
returned home from the service crippled and maimed for life, and 
these interviews constantly reminded him of " the groan of the 
gray-haired sire on learning the sad news ; the indescribable look 
of despair of the widow, on learning that her last prop was taken 
from her ; the shriek of the newly-made bride ; the suppressed 
anguish of the betrothed maiden ; and the piteous wail of the 
bereaved mother, as, with quivering lips, she imparted the sad 
news to the little ones, who henceforth would be fatherless, and, 
perhaps, homeless," 

Considerable correspondence on the subject of the organization of 
the Order, which is now known as the " Grand Army of the Repub- 
lic," passed between Dr. Stephenson and Mr. Rutledge, until they 
met, by appointment, in Springfield, 111., in March, 1S66, to arrange 
for the compilation of a ritual for the proposed Order. The first 



20 "the grand army of the republic." 

Post was organized at Decatur, 111., April 6, 1866, by Maj. B. F. 
Stephenson, and a ritual was printed under liis supervision. The 
first State Convention Avas held in Springfield, 111., July 12, 1866. 
As Commander-in-Chief, Dr. Stephenson issued a general order, 
dated October 31, 1866, calling the first National Convention of 
the " Grand Army of the Republic." The convention met in In- 
dianapolis, Ind., November 20, 1866, and representatives were 
present from Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, New York, 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Indiana, and the District of 
Columbia. 

OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. 

The objects of the G. A. R., as originally set forth in their Con- 
stitution, are : First, the preservation of those kind and fraternal 
feelings, which have bound together, with the strong cords of love 
and affection, the comrades in arms of many battles, sieges, and 
marches ; second, to make these ties available in works and results 
of kindness, of favor and material aid to those in need of assist- 
ance; third, to make provision, where it is not already done, for 
the supi^ort, care, and education of soldiers' orphans, and for the 
maintenance of the widows of deceased soldiers; fourth, for the 
protection and assistance of disabled soldiers, whether disabled by 
wounds, sickness, old age, or misfortune ; fifth, for the establish- 
ment and defense of the late soldiery of the United States, morally, 
socially, and politically, with a view to inculcate a proper appre- 
ciation of their services to the country, and to a recognition of such 
services and claims by the American people." 

The Indianapolis Convention, held November 20, 1866, added 
the word " sailors " to the Springfield Constitution, and also a new 
section, taken from the Constitution of the " Loyal Legion," which 
reads as follows : " The maintenance of true allegiance to the 
United States of America, based upon paramount respect for and 
fidelity to the National Constitution and Laws, manifested by the 
discountenancing of whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, incite 
to insurrection, treason, or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the

.jfficiency and permanency of our free institutions, together with 
defense of universal liberty, equal rights, and justice to all men." 



ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP. 

According to the Rules and Regulations of the Grand Army of 
the Republic, A. D. 1893, all " Soldiers and Sailors of the United 
States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, who served between April 12, 
1861, and April 9, 1865, in the war for the suppression of the 
Rebellion, and those having been honorably discharged therefrom 
after such service, and of such State regiments as were called into 
active service and subject to the orders of the U. S. General offi- 
cers, between the dates mentioned, shall be 
eligible to membership in the Grand Army 
of the Republic. No person shall be eli- 
gible to membership who has at any time 
borne arms against the United States." 

POLITICAL TENDENCIES. 

Many prominent citizens, not bound l)y 
kindred ties to the Grand Army of the 
Republic, are of the opinion that it is 
little more than a political organization, 
and, therefore, take no interest in it. There are, also, a great many 
soldiers throughout the country who would be enrolled as mem- 
bers were it not that they, too, are of the same opinion. This is a 
great injustice to the Order, as the following bit of history will 
show that the Post-room is a place " where the partisan and sec- 
tarian are not heard." 

During the political campaign of 1866, the disputes between 
President Johnson and the majority in Congress were the means 
of greatly hindering the growth of the G. A. R. ; for, notwith- 
standing the fact that a great many soldiers who entered the war 
as Democrats returned with different political opinions, and that 





22 " THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC." 

the great mass of the soldier vote in 1866 was Republican, it was 
by no means a unit, for many thousands of gallant soldiers, who 
Avere Democrats when they enlisted in the service, returned as 
such ; and during this political campaign hundreds of political 
clubs were organized among the Veterans, some advocating the 
principles of the Republican, and others, the Democratic .party. 
Naturally, when a question of a political nature found its way into 
a Post-room, any argument in its favor was sure to be hotly re- 
butted by some representative of the opposite party. 

This condition of affairs soon caused a discord in the Post-room, 
and comrades by the hundred withdrew from the Order, especially 
those with Democratic views ; as a result, the public soon began to 
look upon the G. A. R. as a political organization, and the tendency 
of the whole Democratic party was to work against any move that 
Avould tend to strengthen the ranks of the Order. 

The leaders of the G. A. R. soon saw that even the discussion of 
political questions in the Order was greatly detrimental to its best 
interests. They realized that as the Rebellion was put down by 
" individual efforts united," on this principle alone could they 
secure legislation in behalf of the soldiers' orphans, widows, and 
dependent parents ; or, for the maintenance of homes for disabled 
Veterans, and for the more successful carrying out of the principles 
and objects for which they were organized. They were not long, 
therefore, in taking steps to repair the breach Avhich the political 
tendencies of the Order had made in its ranks, and in January, 
1868, at the National Encampment, held in Philadelphia, Pa., 
while declaring that it was the purpose of the Grand Army " to 
secure the rights of the defenders of their country by all moral, 
social, and political means in their control," the following clause 
was added to the fifth section of their Declaration of Principles, 
" yet this Association does not design to make nominations for 
office, or to use its influence as a secret organization for jiartisan 
purposes." 

In the next year, 18G9, the following article Avas added to the 



THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 



Rules and Regulations of the Order : " No officer or comrade of 
the ' Grand Army of the Republic ' shall, in any manner, use this 
organization for partisan purposes, and no discussion of partisan 
questions shall be jjermitted at any of its meetings ; nor shall any 
nominations for political office be made." Under this law, which 
has never been changed, the " Grand Army of the Republic " grew 
very rajjidly. 

THE GRADE SYSTEM OF MEMBERSHIP. 

Another great drawback to its growth was the adoption of 
" The Grade System," which, according to Past Commander 
Robert B. Beath's " History of the Grand Army of the Re- 
public," provided for three distinct grades of membership : 
1. The grade of "Recruit;" 2. The grade of " Soldier;" 3. 
The grade of " Veteran." The " Recruits " could only be ad- 
vanced to the grade of " Soldier " after two months' service, 
and were not eligible to office, or privileged to act, speak, or 
vote. All business was transacted by the second grade, or 
"Soldiers," except that pertaining to advancement to the third 
grade. The " Soldier " could not be advanced to the third grade 
until he had been a member of the second grade at least six 
months. " The third grade, or ' Veterans,' only were eligible to 
National or Department offices, or to membership in National or 
Department Encampments, or to offices filled by a})i)(Mntment of 
Commander-in-Chief or Dej^artment Commanders ; and to the 
offices of Post-Commander, Vice-Commanders, Adjutant, Quarter- 
master, Surgeon, Chaplain, Officer of the Day, or Officer of the 
Guard." 

Many members strongly objected to such complicated manoeuvres 
as was required in passing from one grade to another in the 
" Grand Army," and " Recruits," full of enthusiasm when they 
joined, were disgusted at having to wait two months before having 
a vote. " After a two years' trial, this ' Grade System ' of memlier- 
ship was entirely abolished." Since that time the Order has flour- 



THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 



ished and grown until, to-day, it is a powerful influence for good, 
and no one can deny that it has done much to remove from 
the nation " the shame of permitting men, who saved its life, 
to live, die, and be buried as paupers in the land they helped to 
save." 

I cannot ])etter express my opinion of the G. A. R. than to 
quote the words of Past Commander-in-Chief William Warner, in 
his report of the administration of his office, to the twenty-third 
annual session of the National Encampment of the G. A. R., held 
in Milwaukee, Wis., August 28, 1889 : 

" The Grand Army of the Republic is the grandest civic organi- 
zation the world has ever seen — its list of membership is the 
Nation's roll of honor, containing the most illustrious names in 
history, the names of the brave men who, in the darkest days 
of the rebellion, followed the Stars and Stripes as the emblem, 
not of a confederacy of States bound together by ropes of sand, 
but as the emblem of an indissolul^le Union of indestructible 
States. 

•' They followed that flag, whether in sunshine or in storm, vic- 
tory or defeat, with more confidence and greater reverence than 
did the children of Israel the pillar of cloud by day and of fire 
by night. The men who compose this organization are they who, 
when others faltered, laid ' their lives, their fortunes, and their 
sacred honors ' upon the altar of liberty and Union, that ' a gov- 
ernment of the people, by the people and for the people ' should 
not perish from the earth. 

" As the war recedes the men who shared together the privations 
of the frozen camp, the hardships of the forced march, the dangers 
of the battlefield, the sufferings of the field hospital and the untold 
agonies of the prison pen, long for the touch of a comrade's elbow 
as of old, and seek the Post-room, where the partisan and sectarian 
are not heard. The teachings of the Grand Army of the Republic 
are so conservative, its practices so patriotic, its comradeship so 
universal, that all honorably discharged Union soldiers and 



'"THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC." 25 

sailors of '61 and '65, who have done nothing in civil life to cast 
a stain upon their honorable record in liberty's cause, feel that 
they are at home when in the Post-room, in the house of their 
friends. 

" It is there that the general and the private, the merchant prince 
and the clerk, the millionaire and the laborer, sit side by side as 
comrades, bound each to the other by ties the tenderest yet the 
most enduring of any in this world, outside of the family circle. 

" ' There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours, 
Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers, 

And true lovers' knots, I ween ; 
The boy and the girl are bound by a kiss. 
But there is never a bond, old friend, like this— 

We have drank from the same canteen.' 

" The membership of the Grand Army of the Republic consti- 
tutes the great conservative element of the Nation, the champion 
of civil and religious liberty, recognizing the dignity of labor, but 
having no sj^mpathy with anarchy or communism, recognizing no 
flag but the Stars and Stripes, Ijelieving that loyalty is a virtue and 
that treason is a crime." 

When we come to consider the true American principles which 
form the foundation of the Order, is it any wonder that its mem- 
bership, in al)out twenty-seven years, has reached the gigantic pro- 
portions of 7,626 Posts, and a membership, in good standing, of 
more than 400,000 men? What true American citizen can con- 
sider for a moment the vast amount of labor, time, and money ex- 
pended yearly by the Grand Army of the Republic, in order 
that the soldier's widow might be comforted and supported ; that 
his orphans might be fed, clothed, and educated, and that society 
might be compelled to give them a home, alike comfortable and 
resj^ectable, without acknowledging what a blessing to the welfare 
of our country this Grand Soldier Organization has been, and how 
faithfully they have adhered to their motto of " Friendship, 
Charity and Loyalty " ? 



THE GRAND ARMY OP THE REPUBLIC. 



GROWTH OF THE ORDER. 



A recapitulation of the Adjutant-General's report, at the 
National Encampment held in Indianapolis, Ind., Sept., A. D. 
1893, shows the following figures : 

In 1873 the number of comrades in the Grand Army of the 
Republic, in good standing, was 27,100 ; in 1878 it was 31,016 ; in 
1883, 215,446; in 1888, the number was 372,960; in 1889, the 
number was 397,974 ; in 1890, 409,484 ; this appears to have been 
the high-water mark in its history. In 1891 it was 407,781. The 
total membership, in good standing, June 30, 1892, was 399,880 ; 
gained by muster, 24,954 ; gained by transfer, 7,034 ; gained by re-

DESCRIPTION OF THE G. A. R. BADGE. 

The membershii3 badge of the Grand 
Army of the Republic consists of the 
figure of an Eagle, with Cross-Cannon 
and Ammunition, representing Defense; 
tlie Eagle hovering over with a sword, 
and always ready to protect from in- 
sult or dishonor the National Flag, 
which is also the emblem and ribbon 
of the Order. 

One end of this flag-ribbon is at- 
tached to the figure of the above- 
described eagle, cross-cannon, etc., and 
the other end is fastened to a five- 
pointed star, in the centre of which is 
" the figure of the Goddess of Liberty, 
representing Loyalty ; on either side a 
soldier and a sailor clasping hands, 
representing Fraternity, and two chil- 
dren receiving benediction and assur- 
ance of protection from the comrades, 
representing Charity. On each side of the group is the National 
Flag and the Eagle, representing Freedom ; and the Axe, or Bundle 
of Rods, or Fasces, representing Union. 

" Li each point of the star is the insignia of the various arms of 
the service, viz. : the Bugle for Infantry, Cross-cannon for Artillery, 
Cross-muskets for the Marine, Cross-swords for Cavalry, and the 
Anchor for Sailors. 

" Over the Central Group are the words, ' Grand Army of the 
Republic,' and under the word and figures, ' 1861 — Veteran — 
1866,' commemorating the commencement and close of the Rebel- 
lion, and also the date of organization of the Order."

As the al;)ove cuts will show, the difference between the. member-

latter is wider and ornamented by a buff, cherry red, or a lighter 
blue border — (Buff for National -officers, Red for Department offi- 
cers, and Blue for Post officers) — and that on the active officer's 
badge the eagle is supplanted by a miniature strap one and one- 
half inches long and one-half inch wide, enameled with a gold or 
gilt border one-sixteenth of an inch in width. The color of this 
strap for National or Department officers is black, for Post officers 
dark blue. 

On the badge worn by Past officers this strap is clasped upon

bership badge. 

A miniature shield in gold or gilt, with the coat of arms of the 
State, may be worn pendant to the official strap, to distinguish the 
different State Departments. 

The bronze used in the manufacture of the Grand Army badge 
and button is that of cannon captured in different decisive battles 
of the late Civil War.

CHAPTER III. 



WOMAN S RELIEF CORPS. 




r 



^0 the State of Maine belongs the honor of 
having within its boundaries the first or- 
ganization of hidies who have always so nobly- 
seconded the efforts of the G. A. R. in the dis- 
charge of the principles and duties of that 
body, to co-operate with them as a G. A. R. 
Post. 

As early as 1869, the " Bosworth Relief Corps" 
was formed in Portland, ISIaine, for the purpose 
of aiding the " Bosworth Post," of that city, to 
relieve the unfortunate and needy comrades 
and their families. So well did they acquit 
themselves in their destined work, and so suc- 
cessfully did they adminster to the wants of the 
needy and suffering that in a short time it liecame evident that 
their co-operation was a necessity, and corps after corps was or- 
ganized in every direction ; but it was not until ten years later that 
a State organization was formed. In April, 1879, the first State 
organization was perfected at Fitchburg, Mass., under the title 
of " Woman's Relief Corps," as advocated by the ladies of 
Massachusetts. 

ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP. 

The membership did not rest upon kinship to Veterans, but the 
assistance and sympathy of all loyal women were asked, and the 
only requirements for admission as a member were loyalty and the 
observance of the principles of the Order. 



42 "woman's belief corps; 



OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. 

The objects of the " Woman's Relief Corps are : " First, to 
especially aid and assist the Grand Army of the Republic and to 
perpetuate the memory of their heroic dead ; second, to assist such 
Union Veterans as need our help and protection, and to extend 
needful aid to their widows and orphans, to find them homes and 
employment, and assure them of sympathy and friends ; third, to 
cherish and emulate the deeds of our army nurses, and* of all loyal 
women who rendered loving service to their country in her hour 
of peril ; fourth, to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of coun- 
try among our children and in the communities in which we live ; 
fifth, to maintain true allegiance to the United States of America ; 
sixth, to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, and to 
encourage the spread of universal libert}^ and equal rights to all 
men." 

Notwithstanding their valuable services, nothing substantial was 
done by the G. A. R. to encourage the growth of these Societies, 
nor were they accorded the official recognition they merited 
until 1881, when Chaplain-in-Chief Rev. Joseph F. Levering 
urged upon the National Encampment the necessity of their 
being given their due recognition and support. A resolution was 
then adopted approving the work of the " Woman's Relief Corps," 
and they were also authorized to add to their title " Auxiliary to 
the G. A. R." 

It soon became evident that a National organization and the 
uniformity of rules governing them would strengthen the " AVoman's 
Relief Corps " and increase their usefulness. Accordingly, in 1883, 
Commander-in-Chief Paul Van Der Voort invited representatives 
from all existing Ladies' Auxiliaries to meet at Denver, Colorado, 
at the time the National Encampment of the G. A. R. met there, 
to arrange for a union of all the Societies. This invitation was 
accepted, and a large delegation met at Denver, July 25, 1883, and 
Mrs. E. F. Barker, President of the '* ^^'oman's Relief Corps " of 



WOMAN'S BELIEF CX)BPS." 



43 



Massachusetts, was appointed President, and Mrs. Kate B. Sher- 
wood, of " Forsyth Post Relief Corps " of Toledo, Ohio, was ap- 
pointed Secretary. Owing to some difference of opinion regarding 
eligibility to membership, the delegation from New Jersey declined 
to unite with the " Woman's Relief Corps," and maintained their 
organization under the title " Loyal Ladies' League," later known 
as " Ladies of the G. A. R." 

The plan of organization of the " Woman's Relief Corps " wa3 
very similar to that of the G. A. R. The National organization 
was called the " National Convention, Woman's Relief Corps, 
Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic ;" the State organi- 
zations were called departments, and the local associations were 
termed corps. 

The record of the successful organization of the " Woman's Re- 
lief Corps " was received with great satisfaction by the National 
Encampment of the G. A. R., and the following resolution was 
adopted in order to be transmitted : "Resolved, That we cordially 
hail the organization of the ' Woman's Relief Corps,' and extend 
our greeting to them. We return our warmest thanks to the loyal 
women of the land for their earnest work, support, and encourage- 
ment, and bid them Godspeed in their patriotic work." 

How rapidly this organization has spread may be judged from 
the fact that, at the present time, there are upward of two thou- 
sand Posts in the United States, with a membership of about one 
hundred thousand, who contribute annually more than one hun- 
dred thousand dollars ($100,000). This is a representation of 
their strength in figures, but who can measure the value of their 
kindly sympathy, their visits at the bedsides of suflering Veterans, 
their tender care for the widows and orphans, their loving work in 
the many channels of usefulness which their tact lias found them. 
It is, indeed, as priceless as the patriotic devotion which actuated 
them to devote their time and money to the cause they love so 
well, and the " Woman's Relief Corps " will ever stand as a living 
monument of the love of American women for the cause of truth

and justice : American women, true daughters of their brave 
ancestors, who fought and suffered for liljerty in the days of 
" 76." 

" LADIES OF THE G. A. E." 
(Formerly Known as '' Loyal Ladies' League.") 

The movement of patriotic women, "Aux- 
iliary to the Grand Army of the Rej^ublic," 
which was first inaugurated at Portland, 
Me., in 1869, spread rapidly throughout 
the country. The ladies of New Jersey were 
second to none in their enthusiastic support 
of it. A number of societies or leagues 
were soon formed throughout the State, 
which were, however, not perfectly uniform 
in their rules and management. To secure 
a more thorough co-operation in the work 
for which they were destined, a request was 
issued in general orders by Commander 
Charles Houten, Department of New Jersey, 
to send representatives to Trenton, with a 
State organization. The delegates met at 
Trenton, N. J., December 15, 1881, and after some debate an 
organization was perfected under the title, " Loyal Ladies' League, 
Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Repul^lic, Department of 
New Jersey." The new Order adopted a charter, badge, and rules, 
and began its work with eight subordinate leagues, Mrs. Carrie N. 
Burgee, of Vineland, N. J., being elected its president.

ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP. 

Only such were admitted to membership as were of good moral 
character, and who were related as mother, wife, sister, or daughter 
to an honorably discharged soldier, sailor, or marine, who served in 
the late Rebellion. 



LADIES OF THE G. A. R." 45 



OBJECTS OP THE ORDER. 



The objects of the " Loyal Ladies' League," as set forth^in these 
rules, were as follows : " To unite with loyalty — love for each other ; 
to practice the precepts of true fraternity of feeling toward all 
sisters of our Order, thus emulating the spirit which unites our 
fathers, husbands, and brothers ; to honor the memory of those 
fallen ; to perpetuate and keep forever sacred ' Memorial Day ' ; 
to assist the ' Grand Army of the Republic ' in its high and holy 
mission ; aid, encourage, and sympathize with them in their noble 
work of charity ; to extend needful aid to members in sickness and 
distress ; to aid sick soldiers, sailors, and marines ; to do all in our 
power to alleviate suffering." 

In July, 1883, Mrs. S. D. Hugg and Mrs. Laura McNeir were 
sent as delegates from New Jersey to Denver, Colorado, to meet 
with the delegates from the Ladies' Auxiliary Societies in the 
different States, who were called together by a request issued by 
Paul Van Der Voort, Commander-in-Chief of the National En- 
campment of the G. A. R., with a view of forming a National or- 
ganization to better carry out the objects for which they were 
organized. At this convention the delegates from New Jersey 
were opposed to making all loyal women eligible to membership, 
and on the adoption of that rule by a majority of the delegates 
present, they declined to become a part of the " Woman's Relief 
Corps," as they thought that the membership should be restricted 
to the immediate relatives of Veterans. In this view they were 
supported by their State Convention, and New Jersey remained 
an independent department. 

On Novem1)er 18, 1886, delegates from the various Leagues in 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kansas, California, Ohio, Delaware, and 
West Virginia met in convention at Chicago, 111., for the pur- 
pose of effecting a National organization. After some discussion 
and a few slight changes in the rules, a union was effected with an 
organization in Dlinois, known as " Ladies of the G. A. R," This 



46 " LADIES OF THE G. A. B." 

name was adopted by the Convention for the National Order, and 
Mrs. Laura McNeir, of Camden, N. J., was elected as its 
National President. The membership at the present time is about 
thirty-five thousand, who have, by their activity and fidelity to 
the purpose of their Order, done much to aid and support the 
Grand Army of the Republic. 

The organization formed, as it is, by the immediate relatives of 
the Veterans, is united by the strongest kind of bonds. Those ties 
of comradeship which were formed and strengthened by mutual 
privation and suffering on the field and in the camp, amidst 
liunger, thirst, and disease in Southern swamps. Confederate 
prisons, and which are such a marked feature, many of the com- 
rades of the G. A. R. bore to be communicated to their mothers, 
wives, sisters, and daughters, who, by the fireside, and in the hos- 
pital, did their part so bravely in the great struggle, sharing their 
mutual joys and woe : these ties binding them together have made 
them, as it were, one great family having a common cause and a 
common interest. 



CHAPTER IV. 

" SONS OP VETERANS OF THE UNITEE STATES OF AMERICA." 

SHORTLY after the organization of the 
G. A. R., the plan of forming a Cadet 
Corps of the Sons of the Veterans was 
discussed from time to time, but it was not 
until 1878 that any decisive action was taken 
in the matter. At a meeting of the " Anna 
M. Ross Post, No. 94," of Philadelphia, Pa., 
August 27, 1878, the subject was taken up, 
and, on motion of Comrade James P. Holt, 
a committee of five was appointed to devise 
means of forming a G. A. R. Cadet Corps, to 
be attached to that Post. On the 17th of 
September following, the committee reported 
and submitted a plan of organization, which 
was at once adopted by the Post, and on the 
29th of September, 1878, the first Camp of 
the " Sons of Veterans " was formally organ- 
ized, under the title, " Anna M. Ross Camp No. 1, of Philadeli^hia, 
Order of Sons of Veterans." Other Camps were soon organized in 
Philadelphia and throughout the State, and in July, A. D. 1880, a 
division organization was completed, with Comrade Linder as 
Colonel. 

The Order spread rapidly in the States of New York. Ncav Jer- 
sey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, in 1881, and during the same 
year a National organization was formed, and Alfred Cope was 
elected Commander. 




48 "sons of veterans of the united states op America." 

About the same time Maj. A. P. Davis, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was 
organizing the " Sons of the Veterans," of that city, and on the 
12th of November, 1881, he instituted an organization under the 
title, " Sons of Veterans of the United States of America," and 
prepared for it a Constitution, rules and regulations, and ritual, 
which provided for a National organization and State and Local 
associations. 

In 1883, owing to misunderstanding and dissensions in the 
Order first above mentioned, thirty-three of its Camps withdrew 
and united with the Order founded by Maj. Davis, leaving but three 
Camps of the original Order, but the National division remained 
intact, and Commander Cope created a provisional division in 
Pennsylvania, appointing L. M. Wagner as Provisional Colonel. A 
permanent organization, however, was formed for Pennsylvania, 
February 22, 1882, and the original Order continued to exist until 
August, 1886, when it was consolidated with the " Sons of Veterans, 

u. s. a'." 

In his address at the National Encampment of the G. A. R., 
held at Columbus, Ohio, in 1888, Commander-in-Chief John P. 
Rea alluded to the order of " Sons of Veterans " as follows : " It 
will be but a short period until our ranks are so meagre and the 
surviving comrades so weighed down with the burden of years 
that our organization will have ceased to be an active force in the 
works of loyal love and charity which it has ordained. The tender 
ceremonies of ' Memorial Day ' will then be performed by others, 
or not at all. It seems to me that it would be the part of wisdom 
for us, while yet in our vigor, to establish such relationship between 
our Order and the ' Sons of Veterans ' as to properly recognize 
that organization." 

Afterward, at the same Encampment, the following resolution 
was passed: ^^ Resolved, That this Encampment indorse the objects 
and purposes of the Order of ' Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.,' and 
hereby gives to the Order the official recognition of the Grand 
Army of the Republic, and recommend that comrades aid and 



"sons of veterans of the united states of AMERICA." 49 

encourage the institution of Camps of the ' Sons of Veterans, 
U. S. A.' » 

ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP 

The requirements for admission to meml)ersriip arc that the 
applicant must not be less than eighteen years of age, and that he 
must be the son of a deceased or honorably discharged Union 
soldier or sailor, or a son of a member of the Order of " Sons of 
Veterans." 

PRINCIPLES. 

The principles of the " Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.," are " a firm 
belief and trust in Almighty God, and a realization that under 
His beneficent guidance the free institutions of our land, conse- 
crated by the services and blood of our fathers, have been pre- 
served, and the integrity and life of the nation maintained. True 
allegiance to the Government of the United States of America, 
based upon a respect for and devotion and fidelity to its Constitu- 
tion and laws, manifested by the discountenancing of anything that 
may tend to weaken loyalty, incite to insurrection, treason, or 
rebellion, or in any manner impair the efficiency and permanency 
of our National Union." 

OBJECTS. 

The objects of the Order are: ^^ First, To keep green the memory 
of our fathers and their sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union ; 
second, To aid the members of the Grand Army of the Republic 
in caring for their helpless arid disabled veterans ; to extend aid 
and protection to the widows and orphans ; to perpetuate the 
memory and history of their heroic dead ; and the proper observ- 
ance of Memorial Day ; third. To aid and assist worthy and 
needy members of the Order; fourth, To inculcate patriotism 
and love of country, not alone among our membership, but among 
all the people of our land, and to spread and sustain the doctrine 
of equal rights, universal liberty, and justice to all." 

The Order is organized on strictly military principles, and is 



50 "sons of veterans of the united states op AMERICA." 

officered and governed according to army regulations. The Na- 
tional organization, which has its one Comniandery-in-Chief, cor- 
responds to an army ; the State organizations, or Divisions, are 
officered and governed as regiments, while the local organizations, 
or Camjjs, corres^^ond to companies, and are regulated as such. 
The officers of the Camp are Captain, First Lieutenant, and Second 
Lieutenant, who are elected by ballot. In addition to these, the 
Captain appoints a staff, consisting of the following officers : First 
Sergeant, Quartermaster Sergeant, Chaplain, Color Sergeant, Ser- 
geant of the Guard, Corporal of the Guard, Musician, Camp Guard, 
and Picket Guard. Each Camp is organized as a company, and 

every officer is required to dis- 
charge his duties in precisely 
the same manner as though he 
were regularly enlisted. The 
Captain presides at the meet- 
ings of the Camjj, and in his 
absence his place is filled by 
the First or Second Lieutenant, 
in the order of his rank. The 
Chaplain's duties are indicated 
by his title. The First Sergeant

and makes a quarterly report to Division Headquarters through 
the Captain. The Quartermaster Sergeant has charge of the funds 
of the Camp, and likewise, through the Captain, makes a quarterly 
report to Division Headquarters. 

The Order has spread rapidly throughout the entire Union, from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific. It has now on its roll more than 
ninety thousand active members. As Commander-in-Chief Rea 
intimated in his address, that time will gradually decimate the 
ranks of the G. A. R., and old age will enfeeble the survivors, there 
should be a union of younger men upon whom they could lean 
for support, who would be worthy of their charge and who would

foster and perpetuate the purpose for which they suffered and 
bled. When the necessity for such an organization became ap- 
parent, the Order of the " Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.," sprang into 
existence to meet that necessity ; and well have they met it, its 
membership being made up of the best blood of the land, young 
men well drilled in military tactics, who are devoted to their 
country, and who cherish the memory of the brave deeds of their 
fathers. At a call of their country they would be among the 
first to spring to arms, and, incited by the deeds of their fathers, 
they would soon rival them in their devotion to preserve the honor 
and integrity of the " Stars and Stripes." 

" ladies' aid society." 
Auxiliary to the " Sons of Veterans, U. S. A." 

The " Ladies' Aid Society " was organized 
in Philadelphia, Pa., A. D. 1883, but it was 
not until the 29th day of August, 1884, at a 
meeting of the " Sons of Veterans '* held in 
Philadelphia that it was duly recognized and 
practically acknowledged as an "Auxiliary 
to the Sons of Veterans, U. S. A." 

Prior to June 13, 1885, this Order con- 
sisted of but seven Societies, and was not 
known outside of Eastern Pennsylvania. 
In September, 1885, at an annual meeting 
held at Grand Rapids, Mich., the " Sons 
of Veterans " passed the following reso- 
lution : 

^^Rcsolved, That all brothers of our Order 

be requested to encourage the movement to 

extend the Association of ' Ladies' Aid 

Societies,' in order that they might become 

a National body, and to give the movement such support as their 

situation and circumstances will admit of, and that the Com- 




52 "ladies' aid society." 

mander-in-Chief, Grand Division, Division, and Camp Com- 
manders, and all others interested aid in the establishment of 
Societies, and that in accordance with the request of the President, 
Miss Laura F. Martin, of Lancaster, Pa., they advance to her 
Order in the shape of a temporary loan such moderate amounts as 
her appeal indicates will be sufficient to meet the requirements of 
the case." 

The passing of this resolution is credited to Maj. A. P. Davis, of 
Pittsburgh, Pa., the founder of the " Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.," 
and to him the more perfect and thorough organization of the 
Order as it now stands is largely due. 

The rapid growth of the Order is clearly demonstrated by the 
fact that its first National Encampment was held at Akron, Ohio, 
September 7 to 9, 1887, just two years after the passing of the 
above resolution, and since that time the Order has been re- 
peatedly indorsed by the National Encampments of the " Sons 
of Veterans " as their only authorized auxiliary. It now em- 
braces about three hundred and fifty Societies, with thirteen 
States organized into permanent Divisions, and has a total mem- 
bership of over eight thousand. 

ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP. 

This Order admits to membership : First, " mothers, wives, and 
sisters of deceased or honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, or 
marines who served in the Union Army or Navy during the Civil 
War of 1861-1865 ; second, female lineal descendants not less than 
sixteen years of age of soldiers, sailors, or marines ; third, wives 
of Sons of Veterans." 

PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER. 

Its principles are : First, " a firm belief and trust in Almighty 
God, and a realization that under His beneficent care and guid- 
ance the free institutions of our land — by the assistance and sacri- 



" ladies' aid society." 53 

fices of our soldiers — have been preserved, and the integrity and 
life of the nation maintained ; second, true allegiance to the Govern- 
ment of the United States of America, and a respect for and a de- 
votion and fidelity to its Constitution and laws, with a firm oppo- 
sition to anything that may tend to weaken loyalty or in any 
manner impair the efficiency and permanency of our National 
Union." 



The ol\iects of the Order are : First, " to assist the ' Sons of 
Veterans ' in keeping green the memories of our soldiers, and 
their sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union ; second, to aid 
the members of the ' Grand Army of the Republic ' in caring for 
their helpless and disabled veterans, to extend aid and protection 
to their widows and orphans, to perpetuate the memory and 
history of their heroic dead, and the proper observance of Memo- 
rial Day ; third, to aid and assist the ' Sons of Veterans ' in all 
their objects, both financially and otherwise ; fourth, to aid and 
assist worthy and needy members of our Society ; ffth, to incul- 
cate true patriotism and love of country, not only among our 
membership, but all the people of our land, and to spread and 
sustain the doctrine of equal rights, universal liberty, and justice 
to all." 

The Order takes its name from a society organized in Philadel- 
phia, Pa., the week following the fall of Fort Sumter in 1861, 
under the title of '' Ladies' Aid Society." This Society was com- 
posed of al:)out two hundred loyal ladies of that city, and was 
organized for the purpose of providing nurses for the sick and 
wounded soldiers, and to care for suffering and bereaved soldiers' 
families. In short, as an organization to aid and encourage the 
Union soldiers in their struggle for the maintenance of the Union. 

As the Order of the " Sons of Veterans, U. S. A.," will likely 
continue as an organization for many years to come, owing to the 
fact that it was organized for the purpose of aiding and continu- 



54 "daughters of veterans." 

ing the work begun, and thus far so faithfully carried out by the 
" Grand Army of the Republic," and, inasmuch as it has been 
demonstrated in the past that the " Woman's Relief Corps " and 
the " Ladies of the G. A. R.," both auxiliaries to the G. A. R., 
have been a source of great aid to that organization, it is reason- 
able to suppose that the " Ladies' Aid Society, Auxiliary to the 
Sons of Veterans," will continue to grow in favor until it becomes 
a mighty factor in carrying out the principles and objects of the 
" Sons of Veterans," upon which its structure is based and reared. 



"DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS." 

This Society is located principally in the West, but is rapidly 
spreading in all directions. It is, in many respects, similar to the 
" Sons of Veterans," and is entirely independent and auxiliary to 
no other organization. 

It was organized at Massilon, Ohio, May 30, 1885, and has a 
National organization and local Societies, known as " Tents." 

The Order admits to membership " all daughtbrs and grand- 
daughters of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines 
who served in the Union army or navy during the Rebellion of 
1861-65, who have attained the age of fifteen years," and has for 
its objects, as follows : " To perpetuate the memories of our fathers, 
grandfathers, and brothers, their loyalty to the Union, and their 
unselfish sacrifices for the perpetuity of the same ; to keep green 
the memory and history of those who participated in that heroic 
struggle for the maintenance of our free government ; to aid them 
and their widows and orphans when helpless and in distress ; to 
assist the Grand Army to commemorate the deeds of their fallen 
comrades on the 30th of May, until such time as it shall devolve 
upon their descendants." 

There is a Floral Committee attached to each Tent, whose duty 
it is to provide floral offerings for the funeral of any deceased 
soldier or sailor in the vicinity. 



CHAPTER V. 



"the national association of naval veterans of the united 

STATES." 

'T^HE objects for which the Grand Army of 
■^ the Republic was organized appeal as 
strongly to the loyal sailor as to his soldier 
brother. Naturally, therefore, the G. A. R. 
early absorbed into its ranks large numl^ers 
of Naval Veterans, and it was not because of 
any change in principles that many old 
sai^lors in the course of time decided to with- 
draw from the G. A. R., and form Naval 
Associations, but rather that the Naval Vet- 
erans might be united in closer bonds of 
fraternity. 

Prior to the year 1887 a number of Inde- 
pendent Societies, composed exclusively of 
Naval Veterans, had been formed at various 
times in different sections throughout the 
j5.,n,,p, country, and on the 13th day of January, 

1887, eight of these Veteran societies met 
in convention at New York city, where the " National Association 
of Naval Veterans of the United States " was formed, with Charles 
W. Adams, of Illinois, as first Commodore. At this convention, a 
constitution, together with a uniform, national badge, and a recog- 
nition lapel button, was adopted and other important matters for 
the welfare of the local associations decided upon. 

55 




56 " THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NAVAL VETERANS OF THE U. S.'' 

OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. 

The objects of this National Organization arc " to cherish the 
memory and association of the War of the Rebellion ; to perpetuate 
the glorious name and deeds of our Navy ; to strengthen the ties of 
fraternal fellowship and sympathy ; to extend relief to worthy 
members ; to bury their dead ; and to maintain the honor of the 
American flag ;" in short, " mutual benefit, better recognition by 
Federal, State, and municipal authorities, a higher elevation of our 
old messmates, and a cementing of the bonds of friendship, 
which were begun more than a quarter of a century ago, and an 
independent, but concerted, action of Naval Veterans throughout 
the country." 

ELIGIBILITY TO MEMBERSHIP. 

" To become a member of this Order, the applicant must have 
been an officer, seaman, landsman, fireman, or marine; or one 
who served in the United States Navy from 1861 to 1865, or who 
was in the revenue cutter service during that period, and who re- 
signed or was honorably discharged from the service." " Ship- 
mates " who are isolated and not within easy reach of a local 
association may become " Associate Members " by the payment 
of a small fee, and thus become entitled to wear the uniform, 
badge, and button, and parade with the Order annually. 

Ten " Shipmates " can form an association, and upon the pay- 
ment of five dollars ($5) receive from the Rear Admiral command- 
ing a charter, set of rituals, and service books. 

The association has a uniform and rank insignia, not unlike 
that worn by the officers of the " Old Navy," in which they served, 
and flies the " Union Jack " as its service colors. 

The work of this organization is carried on much after the 
manner of the Grand Army of the Republic, yet purely distinc- 
tive of naval routine and customs. A National Convention is held 
yearly in connection Avith the G. A. R. encampments, and the 



"the national association of naval veterans of the u. s." 57 

national officers for the following year are then elected. At the 
Twenty-sixth Annual Encampment of the G. A. R., held at Wash- 
ington, September 20, 1892, over one thousand " Shipmates " 
were added to the National Roster of the Order, which now con- 
tains the name? and addresses of about nine thousand living 
Naval Veterans. 

The Association is noted for the interest and enthusiasm of its 
members and the strong ties of friendship and comradeship exist- 
ing among the " Shipmates." There are a large number of Naval 
Veterans in the G. A. R. Posts of all State Departments : in fact, 
most of the members of this Association have also a membership 
in the G. A. R. 

Most of the Naval Veteran Associations meet regularly once or 
twice a month, and all of them hold yearly reunions, where the 
old " Blue-jackets " spin over their yarns, fight over their battles, 
and, perhaps, " splice the main brace." 

The old Veterans are rapidly " losing the number of their mess," 
and, in a few short years, there will be left but a " quarter watch " 
of useless human hulks. " May they find happiness and content- 
ment as they lie moored in the still waters of the stream of life, 
calmly awaiting the inevitable hour when the frail cable shall part 
and they drift away into the great ocean of eternity." 

The following is a list of the active Naval Veteran Societies of 
the United States :

"the military order of the loyal legion of the united 

STATES." 

The " Loyal Legion " owes its origin to a meeting of Col. S. B 
Wylie Mitchell, Lt.-Col. T. Ellwood Zell, and Capt. Peter D. 
Keyser, M. D., Avhich was held on the day following the assassina- 
tion of President Lincoln, when they met in Lt.-Col. Zell's office in 
Philadelphia to arrange for a meeting of the ex-officers of the 
Army and Navy to adopt a set of resolutions relative to the death 
of the President. 

The advisability of forming a permanent organization was dis- 
cussed, and they agreed to consider the matter, and take more 
definite action at a future meeting. 

On the 20th of April, 1865, another meeting was held, at which 



THE LOYAL LEGION 



it was decided to form a permanent organization, and they 
adjourned to meet in the hall of the Hibernia Fire Company, of 

Philadelphia, May 3, 1865. 

During the month of May a Constitution 
and By-Laws were adopted, which provided 
for the following officers : Commander, Senior 
and Junior Vice-Commanders, Recorder, Cor- 
respondent, Treasurer, Chancellor, Chaplain, 
and Council. The plan of organization pro- 
vides for a National organization or Com- 
mandery-in-Chief, State Organizations or 
Grand Commanderies, Local or District 
Commanderies. 

The first Commander-in-Chief was Lt.-Col. 
T. Ellwood Zell, who was succeeded by Maj.- 
Gen. George Cadwalader, Maj.-Gen. Winfield 
S. Hancock, Maj.-Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, 
Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, and Rear-Admiral 
John J. Almy respectively. 
■gj^jyf.^ The memberships are divided into three 

classes: First, Commissioned Officers of the 
Army or Navy who were actively engaged in suppressing the 
Rebellion, or, the eldest male lineal descendants of such deceased 
officers, provided such descendants be twenty-one years of age 
or over ; second, the eldest sons of living companions or members 
of the first class, provided they be twenty-one years of age or 
over; third, gentlemen in civil life, who Avere conspicuous for 
loyalty to the National Government during the Rebellion. 

The objects of the Association are: "To cherish the memories 
and associations of the war waged in defense of the unity and in- 
divisibility of the Republic; to strengthen the ties of fraternal 
fellowship and sympathy, formed from the companionship in 
arms ; to advance the best interests of the soldiers and sailors of 
the United States ; to extend all possil)lo relief to their widows 
and children; to foster the cultivation of military and naval

science, and, in general, to maintain national honor, unity, and in- 
dependence." 

The " Loyal Legion " has grown and prospered, and has now 
more than eleven thousand members on its rolls, with active Com- 
manderies in nineteen States and the District of Columbia. 

The interests of the " Loyal Legion " and the Grand Army are 
nearly identical, and many Veterans have a membership in both 
organizations. 

" UNION VETERAN LEGION." 

As originally organized in Pitts- 
burgh, Fa., in March, 1884, member- 
ship in the " Union Veteran Legion " 
was restricted to " officers, soldiers, 
and marines of the Union Army, Navy, 
or Marine Corjjs during the War of 
the Rebellion, who volunteered, prior 
to July 1, 1863, for a term of three 
years, and were honorably discharged 
BADGE. ^^^ ^i^y cause, after a continuous serv- 

ice of two years, or were at any time 
discharged by reason of wounds received in the line of duty ; but 
no drafted person, nor substitute, nor any one who has at any time 
borne arms against the United States is eligible." 

The clause relative to eligibility to meml^ership was changed at 
the annual meeting held at Youngstown, Ohio, Feb- 
ruary 22, 1888, and those, also, were made eligil)]e 
to membership who volunteered for a term of two 
years, prior to July 22, 1861, and served their full 
term of enrollment, unless discharged for wounds 
received in the line of duty. 

The Order has a National Encampment, also Local 
Organizations, or Encampments, with the following 
officers: Colonel-Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, Officer 
of the Day, Adjutant, Quartermaster, Chaplain, Officer of the 





U. V. L. BUTTON. 



bZ THE UNION VETERANS UNION. 

Guard, Surgeon, Sergeant-Major, Quartermaster-Sergeant, Color- 
Bearer, Sentinel, and Drummer, or Bugler. 

The executive authority is conferred upon the National officers, 
there being no Department organizations, as in the Grand Army. 

The first National Encampment was held at Pittsburgh, Pa., 
February 18, 1887, when George B. Chalmers, of Pittsburgh, was 
chosen its first National Commander. 

The objects of the " Union Veteran Legion " are : ^^First, the cul- 
tivation of true devotion to the American Government and insti- 
tutions ; second, the moral, social, and intellectual improvement of 
its members and their relief, and the relief of their widows and 
orphans, in sickness and distress ; third, the preservation of friendly 
relations among those who fought for the safety of the American 
Union ; fourth, by the personal example and influence of its mem- 
bers to perpetuate the three great principles of ' Fraternity, Char- 
ity, and Patriotism,' and to promote the interests of humanity ; 
fifth, all things being equal, to give preference to its members in 
all business relations, and to assist them, as far as possible, in all 
honorable ways." 

"union veterans' union." 

This organization was formed at Washington, D. C, June 18, 
1886, through the efforts of M. A. Dillon, who was also elected its 
first Commander-in-Chief. 

It has a National organization and subordinate commands, with 
the following officers: Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, Surgeon, 
Chaplain, Officer of the Day, Officer of the Guard, Adjutant, Quar- 
termaster, Sergeant-Major, Quartermaster-Sergeant, Drum-Major, 
Color-Bearer, and Sentinel. 

Eligibility to membership consists in having had at least six 
months' continuous service, unless discharged on account of wounds 
(part of which must have been at the front), in the Army, Navy, 
or Marine Corps of the United States, between April 12, 1861, and 
April 30, 1865, and an honorable discharge from the same. 



THE VETERANS EIGHTS UNION. 



63 



The society also uduiits to honorary membership gentlemen of 
good moral character, not entitled to join as comrades, who are 
willing to co-operate with the Command in 
promoting the objects of the " Union Vet- 
erans' Union." 

The objects of the " Union Veterans' 
Union " are : " First, to preserve and per- 
petuate the principles for which we con- 
tended on many battle-fields; second, to 
recognize the rights of the soldier to posi- 
tions of public trust, and the preferment 
of our members over others for employ- 
ment ] )y the Government, or by individuals, 
other things being equal ; third, to demand 
of this Government a proper apj^reciation 
of their services and a just recognition of 
their claims ; fourth, to support, aid, and 
assist in the election to positions of ijublic 
trust any and all true friends of the Union 
BADGE. Soldier, irrespective of politics, creed, or 

party ; fifth, to extend to our comrades, their widows and orphans, 
in time of need, that charity that knows no end." 




" THE veterans' RIGHTS UNION." 

The tendency of heads of departments and government officials 
to discriminate against the old soldier in filling positions of trust 
and profit in their respective departments, and to ignore the rights 
of Veterans of the late War, who, in every respect, were worthy 
and competent to fill such positions, aroused the righteous indig- 
nation of all their old comrades in arms. To remedy this and 
secure for them, at least, an equal chance to fill positions in the 
Civil Government, when there were vacancies which they were 
competent to fill, a convention was called, at the solicitation of 



64 "the veterans' rights union." 

Post No. 135, Department of New York, to meet in New York 
city, October 13, 1882, " to consider the best means of advancing 
the interests of Veterans employed, or seeking to be employed, in 
the Local, State, and National Governments." 

In response to this call, about one hundred and fifty Posts of tlie 
G. A. R. sent representatives, and the " Veterans' Rights Union " 
was formed, the members pledging themselves, in the resolutions 
adopted, " by all legitimate methods, to maintain the rights and 
assert the privileges of the Veteran Soldiers and Sailors of this 
land, whenever, wherever, and by whomsoever those rights and 
privileges shall be menaced." 

An Executive Committee of five was chosen, with full power to 
act for the Society, and they pledged themselves not to accept any 
position of trust or profit under the Government, during the time 
for which they were chosen. 

The object, as explained in their communications, was to secure 
to those who served under the Government of the United States, 
during the late War, the privileges and rights guaranteed to them 
by the statutes of the United States, or any State law that has been 
or may be enacted for their benefit. 

After much perseverance and hard work, the Committee suc- 
ceeded in securing, directly and indirectly, the passage of a number 
of laws in the interest of their cause, and, also, the ruling of the 
Civil Service Commission of the United States, as follows : " Any 
applicant honorably discharged for such cause (by reason of dis- 
ability, resulting from such wounds and sickness incurred in the 
line of duty), who, as the result of an examination, had been 
placed upon a register as eligible for an appointment, should be 
certified in preference to any other person thereon, not entitled to 
such preference, examined for the same part of the service, even 
though such persons are graded higher." 

The Association, through its various committees, has done a 
great deal for the best intersts of the Veterans, and deserves much 
credit for the tireless energy of its members in their behalf. 



" UNION EX-PRISONERS OF WAR ASSOCIATION." 65 

"union ex-prisoners of war association." 

Soon after the close of the war a number of attempts were made 
to form societies, composed exclusively of soldiers who had been 
confined in Confederate prisons, but these attempts were not suc- 
cessful until April 9, 1874, when the " National Union of Ander- 
sonville Survivors " was organized at Worcester, Massachusetts ; 
Warren Lee Goss, of Norwich, Connecticut, being chosen Presi- 
dent. 

At the end of the meeting held at Hartford, Connecticut, April 
19, 1877, the title was changed to " National Union of Survivors 
of Andersonville, and other Southern Military Prisons." This 
title was again changed to " National Association of Ex-Union 
Prisoners of War " at a meeting held in Cleveland, Ohio, Septem- 
ber 19, 1883. 

The meeting for 1887 was held in Chicago, Illinois, September 
22 and 23, when the title was finally changed to " Union Ex- 
Prisoners of War Association," by which title it is known now, 
and all State Associations were abolished. 

The membership of the Order is over two thousand, and its ob- 
jects are " to strengthen the ties of fraternal fellowship and sym- 
pathy, formed by companionship in arms during the Civil War 
among the survivors of Rebel military prisons ; to perpetuate the 
name and fame of those who have fallen in the prison pens of the 
South, and in the line of duty; to bind together in the most 
friendly ties the survivors of the above prisons by joint action of 
its members in any direction which will secure justice to the living 
and honor to the dead, and to assist such of our fellow-prisoners 
as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the 
widows and orphans of those who have fallen."

CHAPTER VI. 



VETERAN SOCIETIES. 



"11 ZHEN peace again prevailed throughout our 
^^ land, and the brave boys in blue gladly 
laid aside the grim implements of war to return 
to their firesides, a tinge of sadness marred the 
change, welcome as it was ; the ties between con- 
genial spirits that Avere formed amidst the dangers 
and privations of a great campaign were not 
easily broken. Strong men, who were never 
known to quail in the face of danger, wept like 
children when the day of parting finally came. 

The memories of the camp and battle-field were 
not easily to be forgotten, and but few regiments 
disbanded that did not provide for future re- 
unions, when they could meet again under more 
peaceful auspices, and recall what was pleasant 
of their former associations. This same spirit 
led to the organization of that greatest brother-

of those engaged in special arms of the service. 
The first of these Societies was the

the bodies of officers killed in battle or dying in hospitals at the 
front. 

Gen. Sickles was elected its first President, and held that posi- 
tion until prevented from acting by disability. 

The Society developed into a permanent institution to which all 
officers or enlisted men who enlisted in the 3d Corps or partici- 
pated in the battles of the od Corps are eligible. 

Meetings are held annually on May 5, the anniversary of the 
battle of Williamsburg. 

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE. 

This Society owes its origin to a meeting held in the Senate 
Chamber of the State Capitol at Raleigh, N. C, April 14, 1865. 
Brig.-Gen. W. B. Woods presided, and a committee of five Avas 
appointed to prepare a plan of organization. 

At an adjourned meeting held in the same place on the 25th of 
April a plan of organization was reported, in which the member- 
ship was restricted to officers who had served in the " Old Army 
of the Tennessee." This was afterward amended to admit into 
membership the relative of any deceased member to whom such 
membershiiD should descend by bequest, and in default of such 
declaration the eldest son should inherit his father's title to enroll- 
ment in the Society. Maj.-Gen. John A. Rawlins was elected its 
first President. 

The objects, as set forth in the Constitution, are: "To keep alive 
and preserve that kindly and cordial feeling, which has been one 
of the characteristics of this Army during its career in the service, 
and which has given it such harmony of action, and contributed, 
in no small degree, to its glorious achievements in our country's 
cause ; the fame and glory of all officers belonging to this army 
who have fallen, either on the field of battle or in the line of their 
daily duty, shall be a sacred trust to this Society, which shall cause 
proper memorials of their services to be collected and preserved, 
and thus to transmit their names with honor to posterity ; the

families of all such officers who shall be in indigent circum- 
stances will have a claim upon the generosity of the Society, and 
will be relieved by the voluntary contributions of its members 
whenever brought to their attention ; in like manner, the sufiering 
families of those officers who may hereafter be stricken by death 
in the hands of the survivors," 

THE SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE OHIO. 

This Society was organized at a reunion of the Western Societies 
held in Chicago, Illinois, December 15, 1868, and Maj.-Gen. John 
M. Schofield was elected its first President. 

On the same occasion the " Society of the Army of Georgia " 
was formed, of which Maj.-Gen. Henry W. Slocum was chosen 
President. 

THE SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND. 

On the 16th of February, 1868, the organization of this Society 
was completed at Cincinnati, Ohio, Maj.-Gen. George H. Thomas 
being elected President. 

The Society admits to membership all officers and enlisted men 
who served in the Army of the Cumberland ; its badge, as formally 
adopted, is very unique, being in part made up of a combination 
of the corps badges of the 4th, 14th, and 20th Army Corps. 

SIGNAL CORPS. 

There being no separate and distinct organization of the " Signal 
Corps," a meeting was called for that purpose in Boston, Mass., in 
1867, and on the 14th of November of that year an organization 
was perfected, with Lieut. J. W. Willard Brown as President. 
Since 1879 meetings of the Society have been held annually. 

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE JAMES. 

This Society was organized in Boston, Mass., September 2, 1865, 
and Gen. Charles E. Devens was elected its first President. Meet- 



VETERAN SOCIETIES. 7l 

ings were held in 1871, 1874, and 1876, when the Society was 
incorporated with the Army of the Potomac. 

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. 

All who served in the Army of the Potomac, or in the 10th and 
18th Corps, Army of the James, are eligible to membership in 
this Society. It was first organized in New York city on the 5th 
of July, 1869, with Lieut. Philip H. Sheridan as its first President. 
Meetings have been held each year since that time, with the 
exception of 1875. The officers are elected annually, and consist 
of the following : President ; one Vice-President from each of the 
Army Corps belonging to it, including the 10th and 18th Corps, 
Army of the James, and one each from the Artillery Corps, Cav- 
alry Corps, Signal Corps, and General Staff", respectively ; Treasurer ; 
Recording Secretary, and Corresponding Secretary. 

SOCIETY OF THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION AND THE 9tH CORPS. 

This Society was organized in New York city February 8, 
1869, and Gen. A. E. Burnside was elected as its first President, 
which office he filled until his death in 1871, when Vice-President 
Gen. A. B. R. Sprague filled his position until the next re-union, 
at which Gen. John F. Parke was made President. 

THE SOCIETY OF THE ARMY AND NAVY OF THE GULF. 

This Society was made up of officers who had served in the 
Department of the Gulf, and was instituted at TiOng Branch, N. J., 
July 8, 1869. Admiral G. D. Farragut was its first President, 
holding that position until his death, when Gen. P. H. Sheridan 
succeeded him. 

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF WEST VIRGINIA. 

The survivors of the Army of West Virginia, organized at 
Moundsville, W. Va., September 22, 1870, with Gen. R. B. Hayes

as President, and have held large and interesting re-unions annu- 
ally since then, 

"the CINCINNATI SOCIETY OF EX-ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS." 

This Society was organized in Cincinnati, 0., October 2, 1874, 
and Col. Stanley Matthews was elected its first President. 

The object of the Society is : " To preserve the feeling of friend- 
ship and cordiality among those who served in our National 
forces during the struggle for the preservation of the Republic, 
and also to keep a record of its members." 

Meetings are held quarterly, also annually on the third Thursday 
in January. 

" PENNSYLVANIA RESERVE ASSOCIATION." 

In 1861 Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, organized 15 Regi- 
ments which were known as " The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps," 
anticipating a call for troops to serve three years. These Regi- 
ments were engaged in active service from the time of their muster- 
in until the close of the war. A number of the surviving members 
met in Philadelphia July 3, 1866, and resolved to form a perma- 
nent organization, calling a meeting for that purpose at Lancaster, 
Pa., September 14, 1866, when they formally organized and elected 
Gov. A. G. Curtin President. 

The object of the Society is : " To cherish the memories, per- 
petuate the friendships, and continue the associations formed in 
the field." 

SOCIETY OF THE ARMY OF ARKANSAS. 

This Society was organized in the United States Senate Cham- 
ber, Washington, D. C, in February, 1888. It has a total mem- 
bership of about one thousand, derived from service with the 
troops constituting the Seventh Army Corps, west of the Missis- 
sijipi, and the Army of the Frontier. Its object is much the same 
as Army Societies generally.

Cavalry, and Wilson's Cavalry, the Union Army during the war 
was subdivided into twenty-five Army Corps. These Corps were 
designated by the badges represented on the opposite page with the 
exception of the 21st Corps, which never adopted a badge, and 
the badge of the loth Corps, which was adopted after the close of 
the war. These badges were originally stamped out of flannel 
cloth, and were worn conspicuously on the front of the soldiers' 
caps. The color of the badge indicated the Corps Division, namely, 
Red, the 1st Division ; White, the 2d Division ; Blue, the 3d Divis- 
ion ; Orange, the 4th Division ; and Green, the 5th Division. The 
idea of the Corps Badge appears to have originated in Philip 
Kearny's Division, In 1862, Kearny ordered his officers and 
men to wear a red patch on their caps, so that he might distin- 
guish them from those of other commands. The Corps Badges 
were first officially ordered in the spring of 1863, and were imme- 
diately adopted by the Army of the Potomac, but in the Western 
armies they did not appear on the men's caps until 1864. These 
badges were also painted on the wagons of the Corps, and stenciled 
on all its articles of public property, 

CORPS SUBDIVISIONS. 

The various Army Corps were organized, for the most part, with 
three Divisions, each Division containing three Brigades, and each 
Brigade consisting of five Regiments, making forty-five Regiments 



76 OFFICIAL RANK. 

of Infantry in a Corps, to which were added about nine Batteries 
of Light Artillery. The Infantry Regiments consisted of ten 
Companies, of one hundred and one men each ; the Artillery and 
Cavalry Regiments consisted of twelve companies, of one hundred 
and three and one hundred and five men each. 

This form of division was adhered to only as a general rule, and 
was varied at times to meet temporary exigencies. The greatest 
variation occurred in the Brigades, the depletion, at times, of some 
Regiments making additional ones necessary to keep up a proper 
effective strength. Occasionally a Corps would consist of from 
four to five Divisions, and during the Atlanta Campaign some 
Brigades of the Fourth and Fourteenth Corps contained as high as 
nine Regiments. Fifteen hundred men to a regiment was not an 
uncommon occurrence, but such irregularities were exceptional, and 
generally proved to be but temporary arrangements. 



HOW DESIGNATED. 

The Regiments enlisting from each State were numbered from 
one upward. The Companies of the Infantry Regiments were des- 
ignated by the letters of the alphabet from A to K ; the Companies 
or Troops of the Cavalry Regiments and the Companies or Bat- 
teries of the Artillery Regiments from A to M, the J being omitted 
in all cases. 

OFFICIAL RANK. 

The meml)ers of an Infontry Company, in the order of their rank, 
were as follows : Captain, First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, 
Sergeant, Corporal, Musician, Wagoner, and Private. The mem- 
bers of an Artillery Company, in the order of their rank, were 
the same as the Infantr}^, with the exception of the Bugler and 
Artificer. The members of a Cavalry Company were the same 
as the Infantry, with the exce])tion of the Bugler, Blacksmith, 
Farrier, and Saddler. 



OFFICIAL RANK. 77 

The officers were either commissioned or non-commissioned. The 
commissioned officers of a Com2)any were Captain, First Lieutenant, 
and Second Lieutenant. 

The officers of an Infantry and Artillery Regiment, in the order 
of their rank, were Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, Adjutant, 
Quartermaster, Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon, Chaplain, Sergeant- 
Major, Quartermaster-Sergeant, Commissary Sergeant, Hospital 
Steward, and Principal Musician. In addition to the above the 
Cavalry Regiments had a Chief Bugler or Trumpeter, Saddler- 
Sergeant, and Veterinary Surgeon. 

The commissioned Field and Staff Officers of a Regiment were 
Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon, 
Adjutant, Quartermaster, and Chaplain. 

The Corps, Divisions, Brigades, and different armies were com- 
manded by Brigadier and JNIajor-Generals, in the order of their 
rank and line of promotion. 

The entire Union forces were subject to the orders of a Com- 
mander-in-Chief, who, in turn, Avas subservient to the orders of 
the War Department. Winfield S. Scott was Commander-in-Chief 
at the time the war broke out. He was succeeded by Gen. Geo. 
B. McClellan, November 1, 1S61 ; McClellan was succeeded by 
Gen. H. W. Halleck, July H, 1862, and Halleck was succeeded by 
Gen. U. S. Grant, INIarch 9, 1864. 

Prior to the restoration of the rank of Lieutenant-General, 
which was restored on tlie 26th day of Fel^ruary, 1864, by an act 
of Congress, Secretary of War Edwin INT. Stanton persisted in ex- 
ercising the power of the War Department to dictate to the Com- 
mander-in-Chief the movements of the Union forces.- General 
Grant, when offered the Lieutenant-Generalship, said that he Avould 
accept it only on the condition that he should have " absolute con- 
trol." Mr. Stanton was opposed to giving Grant so much power, 
but President Lincoln declared that Grant's request should be 
complied with, thus exercising the President's constitutional power 
of command over the entire army and navy. General Grant re- 



,78 OFFICIAL RANI 



ceived his commission as Lieutenant-General on tlie 9th day of 
March, 1864, and three days later assumed command, relieving 
Major-General H. W. Halleck.

PART III. 



THE list of the battles and engagements of the late Civil War, 
beginning on the opposite page, is the only complete com- 
pilation of the kind ever published. It not only gives the names 
and dates of all the battles and engagements recorded at A\'ashing- 
ton, together with casualties, but the list has been alphabetically 
arranged, so that it is not necessary to remember the date of the 
battle or engagement m order to ascertain any particulars con- 
cerning it. 

Almost any soldier can remember the names of the battles in 
which he i^articipatetl, but very few can remember the exact dates, 
without a knowledge of which it is a very difficult matter to ob- 
tain any information from any of the brief battle lists heretofore 
published, as they have been arranged according to the dates on 
which the battles occurred, regardless of any alphabetical arrange- 
ment,

DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. 



HONORABLE DISCHARGE. 

TTHE majority of the certificates of Honorable Discharge issued 
* by the Government to the Union soldiers have been so de- 
faced by time and wear that to-day they are scarcely legible. 

This documentary evidence of the services rendered by the 
" brave boys in blue " during the dark days of rebellion, suffering, 
and bloodshed which marked the years from '61 to '65 will in- 
crease in value to the soldier's descendants as the years go by. It 
is but natural, therefore, that sons and daughters of veterans 
should wish to preserve a copy of this written testimony of their 
father's loyalty to his country, and that the original should be filed 
away under lock and key, with other valuable papers, to prevent its 
being lost or destroyed. 

The blank forms immediately following will enable each soldier's 
family to preserve in book form, for ready reference, an exact copy 
of the father's honorable discharge. 

RECORD OF SERVICE. 

The ruled pages beginning with 229 are intended to be filled in 
with the soldier's personal Record of Service, together with that of 
his regiment; and such other reminiscences of the civil war as he 
may desire to hand down to posterity. This feature of the book 
will be especially valuable to married sons and daughters of 
veterans.

THE EASEL MONUMENT 
PROJECT. 

The picture on the opposite page represents one view of a design 
for a National Monument, dedicated to the Grand Army of the 
Republic and Kindred Societies in acknowledgment of the good 
work accomplished by these organizations toward keeping alive the 
flame of patriotism which brought victory to the Union Army dur- 
ing that memorable struggle for the preservation of our tFnion. 
This monument will be erected to the Brave Boys in Blue, regard- 
less of rank, as the central figure of a group of State monuments, 
to be styled the Union Soldiers' and Sailors' National Park. It 
will be temporarily constructed in October, 1898, at Bridgeport, 
Conn., where it will remain until the location of said Park shall 
have been determined by the sale of the " Easel Monument Sou- 
venir," as hereinafter explained. 

THE DESIGN. 

This monument, which is to be built of " White Bronze," will con- 
sist of three sides, each of the three sides to represent substantially 
the appearance of an easel, and the three sides to be practically the 
same, so that the general view of the monument will be the same 
when approached from any direction. Hence its name, '*The Trian- 
gular Easel Monument." 

HOW THE FUND IS RAISED. 

The funds with which to pay for this monument and the State 
monuments to surround the same are being raised by the sale of a 
picture or engraving, entitled '' The Triangular Easel Monumenf 
(size 22x30 inches), representing one view of the monument as it will 
appear when erected, with the exception of the large panel in the 
center of the shield on which is engrossed, by means of expert pen- 
manship in India Ink, the name and personal Army Record, Regi- 
mental Record or a copy of the Honorable Discharge of any soldier 
desired by the person ordering the picture, instead of the epitaph 
which will occupy this space on the monument proper; also by the

THE EASEL, MONUMENT PROJECT. 249 

sale of Q. small colored engraving entitled 'T/ie Easel Monument 
Souvenir' (size 15x20 inches), on which there is merely room suffi- 
cient to engross the soldier's name, company, regiment and State, 
date of enlistment and discharge referring to "Car^iahan's Manual 
of the Civil War,'" a companion to this style of picture, where 
ample space is provided for a full and complete Record of Service, 
a copy of the soldier's Honorable Discharge and such other facts 
concerning his regiment, reminiscences of the War, etc., etc., as he 
may desire to hand down to future generations; also by the sale of 
a third and very popular style of Souvenir or colored engraving, 
intended for distribution among patriotic citizens of all classes, 
representing the Easel Monument as it will appear when erected, 
and engrossed, by expert penmen, in such a way as to make it a 
unique form of certificate of membership to The Easel Monument 
Project, recording the name of the subscriber and number of votes 
to which the holder is entitled in the contest for the location of the 
Union Soldiers' and Sailors' National Park. 

In this way each contributor to The Easel Monument Project gets 
value received for his money in the way of a beautiful rvork of art 
and history combined with a double meaning, namely: a picture 
of the most unique monument ever designed, and at the same time 
a certificate showing that the purchaser is a contributor toward the 
erection of the monument which the picture represents, and mention- 
ing the name of the individual who is to assume the responsibility 
of handing the Souvenir down to posterity — a Souvenir which will 
be retained in the family as an heirloom, and one which will have a 
tendency to awaken an interest, along the line of patriotism, in the 
mmds of the rising and future generations and help them never to 
forget the debt of gratitude which we, as a Nation, owe to the 
"Brave Boys in Blue" who on laud and sea volunteered their ser- 
vices during that memorable struggle for the preservation of our 
Union, and early learn to appreciate the sacred meaning of their 
birth-right of freedom. 

LOCATION. 

"The Union Soldiers' and Sailors' National Park" will be located in 
which ever State in the Union the greatest percentage of Easel 
Monument Souvenir sales is made as compared with its Grand Army 
membership, in good standing, according to the statistics of 1893 
(see "Carnahan's Manual of the Civil V7ar," page 18). Every 
copy of the Easel Monument picture sold, delivered and paid for, 



250 THE EASEL MONUiMENT PROJECT. 

no matter who orders it, counts one vote in favor of the State in 
which the subscriber lives or lived at the time the order was given. 
In other wortls, each contributor will be entitled to as njany votes 
as he orders souvenirs ; and inasmuch as the location will depend 
upon the largest percentage of sales in comparison with the Grand 
Army strength of the State, a small State will have just as good a 
chance to secure this park as a large one. For example, we will 
take the State of Ohio as compared v^ith the State of Khode Island. 
For the sake of argument we will say that Ohio has a G. A. R. 
membership, in good standing, of 50,000, while the membership of 
Rhode Island is but 3,000. Now according to the plan adopted for 
deciding the location, if there are 40,000 Souvenirs of the Easel 
Monument sold in the State of Ohio and 4,000 sold in the State of 
Rhode Island, Rhode Island would be successful in the contest, 
because 40,000 sales as compared with a membership of 50,000 is 
only four-fifths of 100 % or 80 % of the Grand Army strength of 
the State, while 4,000 sales for the State of Rhode Island as com- 
pared with a G. A. R. membership of 3,000 would mean four-thiids 
of 100% or 1331%. 

A separate record of the names and addresses of the contributors 
from each State is being kept by the Association, and after each 
State has been thoroughly and systematically canvassed by counties 
the vote will be counted by a committee made up of a representative 
from each State participating in the contest. After it shall have 
been decided which State is entitled to the Park, all the contributors 
from that State will be given an opportunity to cast their vote or 
votes in favor of any city or location of their choice within the State. 
The greatest number of votes in favor of any place within the limits 
of the successful State shall decide the exact location. 

SPECIFICATIONS 

FOR THE 

TRIANGULAR EASEL MONUMENT^ 

The monument is to consist of three hexagonal columns inclined 
towards a common center and supporting three shields and twelve 
statues, each of the three faces of the monument to present, sub- 
stantially, the appearance of an easel, and the three to be practically 
the same, so that the general view of the monument will be the same 
when approached from any of the three sides. The photograph, a 
reproduction of which appears opposite page 4, shows a general view 
of one face of the monument, and each face is to be the same, except 



THE EASEL MONUMENT PROJECT. 251 

that one face will show statues of Columbia and History, one face 
History and Peace, and one face Peace and Columbia; the emblems 
on the columns are to be selected by J. Worth Carnahan, the 
author of the design. In round terms, the diameter of the base of 
each column will be five feet four inches, the length of the shield 
twenty feet, the width of the shield sixteen feet, and the total height 
of the monument, including statues, about fifty-three feet. 

Material: — The whole monument, including statuary, is to be 
composed of " White Bronze," excepting the inside frame work to 
support and strengthen the structure, which will be of iron or steel 
or both. 

Workmanship: — The whole structure is to be substantially and 
thoroughly built in a workmanlike manner, and all seams and joints 
to be nicely fitted, and wherever practicable, to be fused together; 
the inside frame vvork to be of a heavy and substantial character, so 
as to give ample strength and support to the structure ; the models 
of the statues of Columbia, History, and Peace, all badges and 
relief work to be subject, while in clay or plaster, to the approval, 
in writing, of J. Worth Carnahan or his representative. 

Details : — Each of the six faces of the lower part of each column is 
to have a sunkeu panel, to receive a badge or emblem of some military 
organization, designs of which are to be furnished by said Carnahan. 
Each shield is to have two tablets, the large for inscription, the 
wording and style of type to be selected by said Carnahan, and the 
small for a relief scene representing an " Infantry Charge," "Cav- 
alry Charge," and " Naval Engagement." In each corner of the 
shield is to be a relief scene, entitled respectively, " Good-Bye," 
"On the Field," " Woman's Work," and '" Lessons in Patriotism." 
In the left panel, on each shield, will appear the badge of the Grand 
Army of the Republic, and in the right panel the emblem of the 
National Association of Naval Veterans. At the left of each shield 
under the arch will stand the statue of the American Soldier, life 
size, and at the right that of a Sailor. At the top of each shield is a 
scroll surmounted by the statue of the American Eagle; the inscrip- 
tion on the scroll to be selected by said Carnahan. The three 
columns, above the shields, representing the three standards of the 
easel, are to be surmounted by statues of Columbia, History, and 
Peace respectively, each statue to be four feet sis inches in height. 
Each of the three central columns, above the eagles, is to be sur- 
mounted with an ideal statue, representing " The Defense of the 
American Flag;" the height of this statue, to top of flag-staff, is to 



252 THE EASEL MONUMENT PROJECT. 

be eight feet seven inches. There is to be a covering or roof at the 
top of the shields, closing the open space between the columns 
with suitable provision for carrying off water, also a ceiling at the 
bottom of the shields which will take the nature, as far as practica- 
ble, of a groined arch, and will be suitably ornamented on the under 
side. In this ceiling there will be a removable panel, or man-hole, 
but this panel will be part of the ornamentation itself, which will be 
practically the same in each arch. 

The above specifications have been somewhat abbreviated, all 
reference to the drawings and photographs which are attached to 
the original being omitted. The models of the American Soldier, 
Sailor, and ideal statue representing the " Defense of the American 
Flag " have already been approved and accepted. 

SURROUNDINGS. 

"The Triangular Easel Monument" will be permanently erected 
in the center of a group of subordinate monuments, representing 
the different States participating in this patriotic project. We can- 
not, of course, at this writing, say anything definite as to the de- 
signs to be made use of to represent each of these States, as this will 
in all probability be decided by State committees made up of con- 
tributors to the Easel Monument project. The importance of the 
design representing any one State, however, will depend entirely 
upon the sale of "The Easel Monument Souvenir" within its limits, 
as each State, in this way, virtually pays for its own monument 
Each State monument will be surmounted by the State's coat-of 
arms, so that a visitor to the park need have no difficulty in distin 
guishing, at a distance, the representative monument of each State 

We think our readers will agree with us when we say that a Na 
tional Park of this kind where each State is represented by a monu- 
ment of moderate height, so that the inscription on each can be 
read from the ground, is preferable in many ways to the expeudi- 
ture of a vast sum of money toward the erection of a great, high 
structure which would necessitate the use of a balloon in order to 
enable one to approach near enough to read with the naked eye 
some of the inscriptions, or to appreciate the sculptor's art. 

GUARANTEE. 

The Easel Monument Association was incorporated in February, 
1895, under the laws of the State of Illinois, with an authorized 
capital of $50,000.00, for the express purpose of carrying out the 
" Easel Monument Project." Said Association has agreed to deposit 



THE EASEL MONUMENT PROJECT. 253 

in the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago, 111., to the credit 
of an account known as "The Easel Monument Fund," all the money 
accruing from the sale of any style of a pictured representation of 
a monument to be known as " The Triangular Easel Monument " 
over and above its actual cost to them, including the expense of 
the agents selling and delivering the same, until such time as the 
contract price of the said monument shall have been deposited in 
said bank to the credit of the said account; after which time the 
said Association agrees to deposit to the credit of said account 20% 
of its gross receipts from all subsequent sales of the Record of Ser- 
vice style of said picture, in addition to the entire profit accruing to 
it on the sale of any of the " Souvenir" styles, said funds to be 
made use of in the building of a permanent foundation and an ap- 
propriate pedestal for the said Triangular Easel Monument, the 
construction of State Monuments to surround the same, and the 
beautifying of the grounds. 

This means that, until the contract price of "The Triangular 
Easel Monument " shall have been raised, the running expenses of 
The Easel Monument Association, such as rent, officers' salaries, 
advertising, etc., vv^ill be paid from money received from its stock- 
holders and not from the funds accruing from the aale of said picture. 
It further means that, until the said Monument has been paid for, 
the stockholders of The Easel Monument Association will get no 
returns whatever for money invested; the inducement held out by 
the managers of the Association to its stockholders, in order to get 
them to invest money in the Easel Monument Project, being the 
prospective profit to the Association from the sale of " The Easel 
Monument Record of Service" picture, over and above the sale nec- 
essary to realize the contract price of the said Monument and the 
20'^ of the gross receipts above mentioned in addition to any profit, 
which might be realized from the sale of ^'Carnahan's Manual of the 
Cioil War'' as a companion to the " Souvenir" style of the Easel 
Monument picture. 

The capital stock of The Easel Monument Association has all been 
subscribed for by reliable parties. These stockholders are subject 
to assessment, from time to time, for the money necessary to pay 
the running expenses of the Association until "The Triangular Easel 
Monument" has been paid for. They are also held under private 
bond to The Monumental Bronze Co. of Bridgeport, Conn., who 
have the contract for building the Triangular Easel Monument, to 
insure a deposit to the credit of "The Easel Monument Fund" of 



254 THE EASEL MONUMENT PROJECT. 

not less than fifty cents per copy on the first sixty thousand copies 
of " The Triangular Easel Monument" picture sold, delivered and 
paid for, in addition to 20% of the cash receipts on all subsequent 
sales. And to make assurance doubly sure, the Treasurer of the 
Association is bonded for the faithful performance of his entire 
duties by the American Surety Co., the strongest institution of the 
kind in the world. 

The money deposited from time to time, to the credit of ^^The 
Easel Monument Fund" account, can be withdrawn only by check 
or order signed by the president of The Easel Monument Associa- 
tion, the president of The Monumental Bronze Co. and a majority of 
the following described trustees: T. S. Rogers, late Captain Co. B, 
105th III., Commander Post No. 468, Aide to Nat. Commaader, 
1895-96, Downer's Grove, 111.; P. C. Hayes, late Brig.-General of 
the Union Army, ex-Congressman Seventh Illinois District, President 
Joliet Republican, Joliet, 111.; C. L. Davidson, R. R. Commissioner, 
Past Dept. Commander G. A. R., and President of State Bank of 
Hull, Iowa; William Simmons, National Historian and Past Com- 
mander of the National Association Naval Veterans, Philadelphia, 
Pa.; A. P. Davis, founder of '' S. of V. U. S. A.," late Captain 11th 
Me. Inf., breveted Major March 13, 1865, East End, Pittsburg, Pa.; 
Mrs. Emma R. Wallace, Past National and Department President 
of the "Woman's Relief Corps," Chicago, 111.; W. H. Carnahan, 
Superintendent of the manufacture of the "Triangular Easel Monu- 
ment" picture, Apollo, Pa. 

None of the trustees above described, excepting W. H. Carnahan, 
are in any way financially interested in this enterprise. They are 
all well known iu Grand Army circles, and as disinterested parties 
have been chosen by the Association to look into the nature of the 
security furnished by the Easel Monument Association, to insure 
the banking of the money above provided for, and to satisfy them- 
selves, in behalf of the people who patronize the Easel Monument 
enterprise, that the bond to be given by the Monumental Bronze 
Company, upon payment from "The Easel Monument Fund," is 
ample security for the proper application of the same. 

We cannot, of course, guarantee that sufficient funds will be 
raised from the sale of the Easel Monume.it Souvenir to enable us 
to build a monument to each state, as herein outlined; but as "great 
oaks from little acorns groiv," we cm at least jjlant the acorn, 
which, in this case, is " The Triangular Easel Monument," relying 
upon a patriotic people to aid us iu carrying the entire project 



THE EASEl. MOMMEXT I'JtOJECT. 2oO 

through to completion, if not from the sale of the Easel Monument 
Souvenir, then by legislation or any other feasible plan which future 
developments may suggest.
